BiSbTe3拓扑绝缘体中拓扑表面态与二维电子气共存的输运证据

摘要:

拓扑绝缘体(TI)是一种具有奇异表面态的新型绝缘材料,其中载流子的运动由Dirac方程描述,自旋与动量方向垂直。最近的角分辨光电子能谱研究表明,由于量子限制效应,传统的二维电子气可以与拓扑表面态共存。预计共存会引起奇异的输运性质,然而,迄今尚未探索。在这里,我们报告的拓扑绝缘体BiSbTe 3单晶的磁输运研究。除了拓扑表面态的Shubnikov-de Haas振荡和弱反定域(WAL)外,我们还观察到随着磁场的增加从弱反定域到弱定域(WL)的交叉,该交叉具有温度依赖性和二维特征.交叉被认为是拓扑表面态和二维电子气在TI表面共存的输运表现。

英文摘要:

Topological insulators (TIs) are new insulating materials with exotic surface states, where the motion of charge carriers is described by the Dirac equations and their spins are locked in a perpendicular direction to their momentum. Recent studies by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy have demonstrated that a conventional two-dimensional electron gas can coexist with the topological surface state due to the quantum confinement effect. The coexistence is expected to give rise to exotic transport properties, which, however, have not been explored so far. Here, we report a magneto-transport study on single crystals of the topological insulator BiSbTe3. Besides Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and weak anti-localization (WAL) from the topological surface state, we also observed a crossover from the weak anti-localization to weak localization (WL) with increasing magnetic field, which is temperature dependent and exhibits two-dimensional features. The crossover is proposed to be the transport manifestation of the coexistence of the topological surface state and two-dimensional electron gas on the surface of TIs.
